alcohol is absorbed in the blood by the intestines for 100%
It takes about 1 minute before your blood has done a full circle of your body so once the alcohol is in your blood it will take less then 1 minutes before it reaches your brain. Hence, if you were to inject alcohol you would be drunk within 1 minute.
However, it takes far more time for the alcohol to pass through your stomach and be absorbed. This depends on when and what you have eaten. It is thus difficult to calculate the total time because it is too dependent on the situation.
a safe rule of thumb is about half an hour (based completely on experience)

No. Your body doesn't realise it is being poisoned and take steps to remove it (i.e. by throwing it up) until a large amount of alcohol has already been absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to the brain.

Will you die from one drink of rubbing alcohol?
It is possible, but unlikely. Isopropyl alcohol is diluted with water, so you would have to drink more than a few ounces. You might also vomit it back up before it was absorbed. The most likely effect would be nerve damage, blindness, or brain seizures if any of the alcohol got into the bloodstream.
What does small amounts of alcohol do to the body?
From the first sip, alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream and reaches the brain which deteriorates further the more you drink. Cognitive abilities that are acquired later in life, such as conduct and behaviour, are the first to go. Early on you will experience mild euphoria and loss of inhibition, as alcohol impairs regions of the brain controlling behaviour and emotion. Most vulnerable are the brain cells associated with memory, attention, sleep and coordination.
Why is alcohol so quick to find its way to the brain?
It gets into the brain quickly because the brain gets a rich blood supply and because alcohol is able to diffuse across the blood-brian barrier easily due to being not strongly polar.
